Since you are hypoglycemic, eating complex carbohydrates can help with the symptoms. Oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat bread/bagels, fruits, legumes, etc. Try pairing up a few meals a day with a healthy source of fat to slow down digestion; it will help curb your craving. You could eat a handful of almonds or any nuts.

Do you know what your caloric maintenance level is?

Thank you I will be sure to get those.

I'm not even sure I know what caloric maintenance level means...

This has been a VERY frustrating day for me. I tried to walk again today but after 1/4 a mile my shins and lower back started hurting SO BAD I couldn't go any farther. I had to turn around and limp all the way back to my car. What the hell is the point of trying to work out when I can't even ****ing do it??? I'm so embarrassed and pissed off. I don't know what to do. Just when I finally want to exercise my body says a big **** YOU to me. I feel so helpless and hopeless.

Don't like me?

Go have a seat with the rest of the putas waiting for me to give a flying fk.

Don't worry about it, if ur body's hurting, listen to it. Slow and steady is always better than overkill, because at the end its all about consistency. If you are consistent, and you understand what you're doing and giving it an honest shot, you WILL see results. Just gotta give it time. In my experience, nothing kills that consistency like overkill to the point where you don't even enjoy the workout.

You dont have to be a nutrition nazi and count calories every single day, but practice it for a week or so just to give you an idea of how many calories you should be eating.

As for your shins and lower back, try doing some dynamic warm ups beforehand such as skips, jumping jacks, or maybe use a jump rope if you have one. Make sure you are properly clothed so that your limbs have sufficient warmth and blood flow.
